Katy Perry, Tyler The Creator, 'Weird Al' Yankovic Each Cover 'Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built For Two)'

Artist Mark Ryden -- the man behind Tyler, The Creator's "Wolf" album artwork -- recruited the Odd Future ringleader and a handful of other artists to produce covers of Harry Dacre's 1892 popular song, "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)." Katy Perry, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, Metallica's Kirk Hammett and long-time Tim Burton composer Danny Elfman each provided their own unique take on the tune, appearing on the LP "The Gay Nineties Old Tyme Music: Daisy Bell." The compilation was put together for Ryden's new exhibit "The Gay 90s" at Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles.



While the album received a limited print of 999 copies, the songs are now online, and each is accompanied by some pretty weird visuals crafted by Ryden himself, which you can watch below.
